Having finally bought myself a new Moonland VXT this weekend as an ongoing useable project there are a few jobs I want to crack on with first of all. Mechanically the car is pretty good, geometry needs setting up and I want to try to find a good road setting for the GAZ gold dampers, as they seem very stiff at present. But besides those I want to have some scratches and chips repaired. The front end has been done and looks superb but the worst areas all appear to be confined to the rear, lower section of the clam. Is it possible to have just this section repainted or it is a full clam job? Could anyone recommend a good bodyshop in the West Midlands?

The clams are actually two pieces joined together so nice and easy to mask off the lower half.

Had my silver NA from him back in January. Got a good price on that. He had the turbo you have bought on the drive at the time - looked very nice.
Hope you enjoy it - must say I'm more than a little envious, they look nice in moonland - and that extra power - nuf said.
